From the Organizer
The Skittles Waco Wild West Bicycle Tour is known for its legendary rest stops and top-notch rider support—it’s truly a ride you don’t want to miss! With routes for all ages, skill levels, and bike types, there’s something for everyone. And don’t forget the sweetest tradition of all: crossing the finish line and filling your helmet with candy!
A beloved tradition since 1985, the Waco Wild West 100 has become a family favorite for cyclists across Texas. That’s more than four decades of bikes and candy! This all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit ride is about more than just cycling—it’s about building community, promoting safety, and giving back. Proceeds have supported causes like Be the Match, veterans, local schools, the Waco Bicycle Club, emergency radio teams, and many more. We can’t wait to see the impact this year’s ride will bring!
